[QUOTE="Nirvanadirt, post: 590892, member: 20080"] Goldirocks that would have been Mark Rawson who was the guy that led the dig at Merri creek and until we got to know each other was my rival in finding these bunkers. (I know that he dug in the wrong place at Merri creek as I've showed him but he had committed to the spot at Merri creek and couldn't change I with the council! There was usually him and an older fella who was a mining engineer and myself (sporadically) digging the "back door" of the 1st Merri creek bunker. one day while we were working a military historian showed up for a chat and I taken him to where there was an air vent poking out of the ground a flat spot with a ramp going up to the top of the hill and also an old railing from what would have been stairs and in the trees and uplifted piece of green corrugated iron just specks of paint at that stage but olive drab nonetheless. After examining the corrugated iron sheet but his story and said that it was definitely Yankee World war 2 era construction due to the way that they had a strip of tacky asphalt like blue the day used at the time along the edge where it would have joined another sheet. Gravity the footy oval at mount Evelyn is an old tip where people used to dump the local household garbage and the council news to use it for that purpose for many years until it was covered over and turned into a footy oval however if you do want to know where the entrance is and have a go at getting to it id be more than happy to do your trade..... If you meet me there with a metal detector and give me a lesson on how to use the thing I will show you where it is and some old World war 2 era look out posts (or what's left of them) :argh: what you do from there is entirely up to you.
